Stephen Hendry, narrowly avoided becoming the first player to squander a 5-0 Masters lead as he scraped past Matthew Stevens 6-5.
Hendry was 5-0 up before the Welshman won five on the spin, taking the match to a decider, which the Scot won.
Hendry admitted his win over Stevens had been a nerve-wracking experience.
